Rachel Weisz Speaks Out Against a Female James Bond---------------------------------------------------In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Rachel Weisz spoke outagainst the idea of gender swapping the character of James Bond.She believes that women deserve to see their own respectivestories be taken place on the big screen rather than relying onswitching the male version of a character with a female. Withthe character of Bond, Weisz notes that the original intentionof author Ian Fleming was to create a character "who isparticularly male and relates in a particular way to women." AsFleming "devoted an awful lot of time to writing this particularcharacter," switching the gender for the sake of switching itloses a vital aspect of Bond's character as how he perceiveswhat masculinity is and the way he treats women with this viewis one of the key factors that makes him who he is.

The Disobedience actress went on to suggest that perhapsstorytellers could create new works depicting compelling femalecharacters who are in their own respective narratives:

"Why not create your own story rather than jumping onto the shoulders and being compared to all thoseother male predecessors? Women are really fascinatingand interesting and should get their own stories."

The idea of a female James Bond has floated around the film worldfor years, however it started to gain some real traction when itwas unclear whether Daniel Craig would return to the famed rolefollowing 2015's Spectre. Many speculated as to what was occurringbehind the scenes and contract-wise between Sony Pictures and thelead. Weisz would certainly know a thing or two about thesenegotiations as she has been married to Craig since 2011.

Nevertheless, Craig has been confirmed to portray the iconic agentone more time in the upcoming Bond 25. While the film has nodirector or other cast members confirmed, it is slated for aNovember 8, 2019 release date.

Weisz stars alongside Rachel McAdams in the upcoming Disobedience,set for limited release on April 27, 2018.

Wow! Someone in Hollyweird with at least a partial brain!! :-OIf only the people running Doctor Who had had this much intelligence.

She's British so I assume she's based in the UK so maybe she has a bitof a different attitude than the typical Hollywood producer.

She's breathtakingly beautiful and everything she says is absolutely true.

Well, there's an objective critique for ya! :p

I remember when ATOMIC BLONDE came out and people were declaring it 'afemale James Bond film'. Having seen it, i think it was closer to afemale Jason Bourne. Still, I think the point to be made is: if afemale spy action (not lame comedy) film is made, what are the odds thatit won't be reviewed as 'a female James Bond'? Giving women their ownstory isn't going to change that view/comparison from the movie-goingsociety. They cannot get out from under the 'sacred cow' of James Bondsimply by avoiding being the next James Bond lead.

Actually, Atomic Blonde is more of a female John Wick. And that wasmeant as a compliment.

And there's nothing inherently wrong with being compared to James Bondif you're in the same ballpark. Jason Bourne was compared to James Bond,too. But that didn't stop people from making Jason Bourne movies and itdidn't stop them from being worth seeing.

that's the thing. It's seems that Hollywood has a real problem comingup with lead roles in action movies for women. For some reason there'sonly been a handful that have been made over the past few decades eventhough it's been shown that it can work (see Ripley, Alice (ofResident Evil fame) and Lara Croft) as three characters that were asuccess at the box office.) No reason why the writers couldn't come upwith more (assuming there's money to put behind a script/movie with awoman as the lead for an action flick.)

If you want a "Female James Bond", how about do a "Modesty Blaise"picture right? "My Name is Modesty" was OK, but so low-budget andset bound that it barely scratched the surface. (Plus, it was fromthe pre-Willy Garvin era).

They've done Modesty Blaise twice. Both times, no one noticed.

Thus my word "right".

I've never read a Modesty novel, so I have no idea if 'right' would beany good.

The novels (all done by the character creator) are excellent, butthe main medium is the long running comic strip.

I've not seen the first one, but the second was to my understanding shotvery quickly and cheaply to get something done before the rights reverted.That said, it was a decent untold story from very early in Modesty'stimeline. Just would have wished for more budget for exterior and actionscenes. And of course her longtime (platonic) companion Willie Garvinwho joined up with her after she took over the international crime network.

(She was never a spy per-se, but after her "retirement" she would do favorsfor British intelligence)

The gay people already have their picks for the Lady Bond, who not only hasto be female to please them, but gay as well.

Yep, like the upcoming TOMB RAIDER with the delectable Alicia Vikander.No need to piss people off by changing Bond to girl.

that's the thing. It's seems that Hollywood has a real problem comingup with lead roles in action movies for women. For some reason there'sonly been a handful that have been made over the past few decades eventhough it's been shown that it can work (see Ripley, Alice (ofResident Evil fame) and Lara Croft) as three characters that were asuccess at the box office.) No reason why the writers couldn't come upwith more (assuming there's money to put behind a script/movie with awoman as the lead for an action flick.)

You know that Rhona Mitra's (physical) "assets" are the results ofplastic surgery, right? I came across a website years ago that had"before" pictures of her, from the waist up, in which she was toplessand she apparently barely qualified as an A cup.

Yep. But she's the model for Lara Croft, who is supposed to have hugetracts of land.Of course super nutcase Jolie had hers cut off, because, super nutcase.

Give her a break. She had four kinds of deadly cancer.

She had NO kinds of deadly cancer, just family history. So she loppedoff her breasts.

She had *possible* early ovarian cancer, so she had that ripped out,bringing on early menopause.

Yes and all that means is she had a higher than average chance ofgetting that particular form of cancer.

I'm not 100% sure if she was confirmed herself or if it was justconfirmed in relatives.

Post by anim8rfskShe had NO kinds of deadly cancer, just family history. So she loppedoff her breasts.She had *possible* early ovarian cancer, so she had that ripped out,bringing on early menopause.

It was reported when she did her doctor had told her that withoutsurgery she had about a 80-85% chance of breast cancer, about 1-2%with surgery.While it's possible she got bad medical advice (and I would certainlyseek a second opinion before going under the knife) with odds likethat it's difficult to fault her.

Your recall is the same as I had. Can't say that I blame her forhaving the surgery with such a high likelihood of getting cancer. Asyou say she hopefully confirmed that likelihood from multiple doctors.Also there's the fact that she could have cosmetic surgery to end uplooking much the same even the removal if she desired which at leastremoves that negative aspect.

If they gave me a 10% chance, I'd be at least considering similarsurgery, you can be damned sure of that!

Do bear in mind that her mother and her aunt had previously died ofbreast cancer. I imagine this was not the first time she had had thisparticular discussion with her doctor.

I cannot possibly imagine a woman with a diagnosis like that NOTgetting a second opinion. (Or perhaps 3 or 4 opinions) Having yourbreasts removed is about as intimate as it gets and is definitely notsomething to be done casually.

I'm not a fan of boob jobs generally but if it's recovery from surgeryam a lot more understanding than of the ones who do it just for ego orcareer advancement.

In 2015, she had both ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed because herdoctor, the same one who had treated her mother who had died of ovariancancer, found pre-cancerous indications. The tumor on one ovary wasbenign. She does have the mutation on the BRCA 1 gene, which makes allthese cancers highly likely.

Then she made By the Sea with Brad Pitt, her husband, about how awfulthe marriage of a couple had become in which the woman had her medicalcondition, a movie I've seen that was just as awful as you imagine.

She then filed for divorce the next year but didn't make a movie aboutthat.

I don't agree with anim on her surgeries. That movie, on the other hand,clearly indicated something screwy with her mental state.

Her carrying a vial of then boyfriend Billy Bob Thornton's blood aroundher neck years and years earlier wasn't a clue?

Please tell me this story. I've never heard it.

That was the first time we knew she was a nutcase. She was showing thevial off to reporters at red (hah) carpet events and such.

Angelina Jolie wearing Billy Bob Thornton's blood in a vial around herneck is one of the crazier things she's done for love, but according tothe actress' ex-husband, it didn't seem all that crazy at the time.

Thornton spoke to students at Loyola Marymount University's School ofFilm & Television last week and was asked about the Academy Awardwinner's infamous jewelry. "[A] vial of blood is very simple. Angie camehome one day with a kit she bought," he said. "You know those locketsyou buy that are clear and you put a picture of your grannie in it orsomething like that and wear it around your neck? That's what it was.She bought two of those. We were apart a lot because she's off makingTomb Raider and I'm making Monster's Ball. We were on opposite endswesee each other for two weeks and whatever."

"She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a littlerazorblade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on theselockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son ordaughter's baby hair in one. Same thing. From that we were wearing quartjars of blood around our necks," he joked as the crowd laughed. Headded, "And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon."

The actors divorced in 2003, though Thornton and Jolie have stayed intouch since then.

Based on Anim's follow-up, it wasn't quite that extreme. Still a bitweird, but not "vial"-level weird.

Reasonably new in THIS newsgroup though I made my first Usenet post(after 3 or 4 years on Fidonet before that) in April 1994 - how aboutyou?

I've been around for at least 30 years...

But, if you're thinking facts actually MATTER to some people in thisgroup, you've gotta be new!

Am pretty sure Usenet wasn't around in 1988 but I was definitely onFidonet before that.

It played a significant part in my first born's learning to read sincewe had a globe early on and the kid climbs up in my lap while I'mreading my messages and I tell her "the guy who wrote that is inCalifornia", "the guy who wrote that is in England", "the guy thatwrote that is in Australia" which were all places she knew from herglobe since her favorite game was "tell me what country that isDaddy!" (she quickly figured out the blue parts were water). Her eyesgot REAL wide as she knew I had been reading and that was somethingshe didn't yet know how to do though she recognized her own name.

At that point (shortly after her 4th birthday) she got REAL motivatedto read and by 5 was confidently reading and was reading at a grade 3or 4 level by first day of grade 1. Fast forward 20 years to combinedhonors history and Russian...

There were already lots of Usenet group around by 1988.

According to Wackkypedia ...

Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion systemavailable on computers. It was developed from thegeneral-purpose UUCP dial-up network architecture.Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis conceived the idea in1979, and it was established in 1980.<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet>

but like all the user-posted "information" on there, it's reallyanyone's guess whether that's actually accurate or not.

Yep. Apparently the genes on her mother's side of the family are prettyhorrendous. Moms, grandmothers, aunts -- all have been taken by variousflavors of cancer.

Doesn't have to be approached as a video game movie. They can think ofit as making a new Indiana Jones movie with a girl playing Indy if itsoothes their social justice urges, because that's essentially what LaraCroft has always been from the beginning-- a female Indiana Jones.

If you're setting your hopes on things that have 'never been triedbefore' in Hollywood, you might as well just give up now and take upfishing or something.

That's a silly thing to say. FX have improved immeasurably since theJolie movies. You have to wait and see what the filmmakers do with it.
